Jenny: Challenge Poem #21

Jen, I’ve left you. this note – goodbye, adieu
if you need a friend, don’t bother to call
I left your number on the wall, wiped it
from my mind, my heart, my phone and all

Jen, you have too much love for just one man
as you’ve proved again and again – what can
a man do but give you to the world, Jen?
I left your number on the wall, dropped it
from my mind, my heart, my phone and all

now you’ll be the sun in the sky for any
who take down your number and drop a dime
they’ll turn to you in droves, Jen, call and call
I wrote your number on the wall, wiped it
from my mind, my heart, my phone and all.
